Filmmaking 101, Vol. III
"I loved acting, which was never about money, the fame. It was about a search for meaning. It was painful." - Kim Novak
I've always been a fan of Kim Novak, perhaps because Vertigo is one of my favourite films. I think she hit the essence of acting spot on. I knew an actor once who, when I asked her why she had taken up acting, said it was because she wanted to be famous. I told her she might get the fame part someday if she was lucky, but she would never be an actor.

Interview with Art Malik
Art Malik is one of the best actors of his generation, always worth watching no matter what film he's in. He's probably best known for his roles in the excellent TV series The Jewel in the Crown, the David Lean classic A Passage to India, as the bad guy in the blockbuster True Lies opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger, and for his supporting role in one of my favourite James Bond films, The Living Daylights. In this interview, he talks about his background and his career, and offers some valuable insights about acting, both as a process and a profession.
